Religions around the world practice one form or another of "fasting" for various reasons. Buddhists fast as a method of purification. Hindus fast as a way to enhance concentration. Catholics believe fasting teaches control and solidarity with the poor. We ask you give up something you hunger, for these three days, as a reflection of "going without" in honor of children stolen for adoption.
We ask you to participate in this strike by "fasting" for three days. We do not recommend or require starvation, or any unhealthy practices, nor anything that would put your health or welfare at risk in order to be part of this event. Fasting is defined by the participant, and is at your discretion. For example, you may choose to abstain from meat and dairy, or sugar, or television, or you may choose to abstain from all food for one day, meat the next, and sugar the last day. You define the fast.
